Expertise

The Animal Research Facility is designed to provide all experiments on following animals:

- mice

- rats

- hamsters

- gerbils

- guinea-pigs

- rabbits

- pigs

- sheeps

- goats.

In addition, there are established animal models allowing to do contract research and scientifi c cooperation, especially in regenerative medicine and experimental surgery.

Research Area & Excellence

The section for small animals allows housing in conventional conditions and in the barrier. This experimental facilities includes fully equipped laboratory allowing to perform all the in vivo experiments, including surgical procedures.

The section for the large animals includes clean rooms, in which there are two fully equipped operating theatres and experimental ICU.
